Upgrading from RCD 310 to RCD 510 questions hacks ?

Post by tommytse22 »

Hello,

I have recently brought a RCD 510 to upgrade from my RCD 310 they both have DAB the unit should be here is week, I know it is a straight forward swap however I have got a tpk phone kit would that work straight out as well if anyone know ?

I also want to know how easy it is to fit the Bluetooth kit for the radio if I was to go buy it ? Any links if avilable please

Are there any hidden feature or hacks for the RCD 510 ? I got a VCDs can I use it to activate any thing ?

Thanks for the help :)

P.s polo gti 6R 2013 plate If it's any help

Thank you! That was a quick reply! How is the radio ? Do you like it more ? Was it worth the money. Thanks

I had RCD310DAB with TPK Music Kit standard and swapped to RCD510DAB and my TPK Music Kit worked fine. I have issues with it at the moment but that's ongoing with the dealers.

I'd agree with the better quality audio. I swapped from 310 to 510 last week and I love it. Can't get the USB to work though, keeps coming up with an error with the USB stick, however I will prevail!

That's strange, my USB work straight away. However I got parking senor built in I wonder can I use vcds to code the parking senor to work with the radio :roll:
